Answer:
Oxygen
Explanation:
· Air decolorization makes use of chromophores’ instability on oxygen to decolorize the oil by air-oxidizing pigments. For example, the carotenoid and chlorophyll in the oil are very unstable because of their structure, which is easy to be discolored under the action of oxygen. However, air decolorization leads to thermal oxidation of the oil, too.
Answer:
59.8%
Explanation:
First find the Mr of manganese (III) nitrate.
Mr of Mn(NO₃)₃ = 54.9 + (14 × 3) + (16 × 3 × 3) = <u>240.9</u>
Since we have to find the percentage composition of oxygen, we need to find the Mr of oxygen in the compound, which is:
Mr of (O₃)₃ = (16 × 3) × 3 = <u>144</u>
Now we can find percentage composition / percentage by mass of oxygen.
% composition =
× 100
% composition =
× 100 = <u>59.776%</u>
∴ % compostion of oxygen in maganese(III)nitrate is 59.8% (to 3 significant figures).
